How to Make a Green Smoothie That Tastes Good

I have tried a few other green smoothies that actually tasted better than expected, but they still didn’t taste great. If you know me, you know I’m not a real big fan of salad, so drinking something that kinda tastes like a salad just isn’t something I can stick with.

However, I still like the idea of a shake for breakfast that sneaks in a veggie! It took a bit of searching and testing, but I’m so happy I found this one green smoothie recipe that I actually LIKE! Introducing the Green Monster Smoothie

Bulk Buying & Freezing Tips

When you find a good price on bananas, go ahead and buy more than one bunch. Then peel, slice, and freeze them once they’re ripe!

Also, buy a big bag of spinach and if it starts getting old, portion it and freeze it too! Freezing the spinach in one-serving portions makes it super easy to just dump it in the blender. I love my freezer! 😉

If you want to make this healthy green smoothie recipe even easier, you can portion and freeze all of the smoothie ingredients, except the milk. Then just pull a bag of ingredients out of the freezer, dump it in the blender, and add milk.

Note that with all of the ingredients frozen, the blender might struggle if it isn’t a high power one. A Vitamix or Blendtec can handle it though!
